Explanation

Background screenings for security clearances are part of Operational Security (OPSEC). OPSEC is the practice of protecting sensitive operational information and processes, which includes controlling who has access to classified or sensitive project activities through vetting and clearance processes. Physical security refers to protecting physical locations and assets (locks, badges, cameras). Data security and digital security focus on protecting information systems and electronic data - not the personnel vetting process itself.
